Defeater piosenki

I stand next to an empty grave Where my friends will lay I'll put their bodies down Into their resting place. Got a purple heart For a wound and scar They just send letters home That broke the families apart. The paulbearers burden As heavy as my hearts hurtin...

You’ve got to find her. Your mother ain’t fit to be alone. Her rosary beads are gone, there’s only one place she’d be. The sun is nearly up, put your jacket back on and walk down the street. Feel the wind start to shift, cold and biting. Just like everyth...

I've been slipping away I've been losing the days I've been letting my vices take from me No holy spirit, no resurrection I've been hoping of death, (…) it's left Years of heartache and guilt haunting my sleep No holy spirit, no salvation Hopeless and...

I hope this finds you well A father lost and mother dear The family that's kept me here Heartless and cold, and I've learned it well How to lose everything How to push you away How to lie when I say "I never raised a hand to the ones I love." Now look...

I ain't been sleeping well these days I lie awake listening to the trains Wishing for one of them To come take me away Lost my way every place I've been Tired of thinking of all the hurt I've seen Wishing for death To finally take me. My days are all the sa...

I feel the distance in your letters sent I left my family for the trenches You've got me worried about leaving You've got your needle, I've got my demons You've got me homesick, I feel like slipping I feel the cold hand of death is creeping He took my brother...

Mid-day heat is low Sun torches victims skin Priests rise to command Blood spills the altar stairs Sacrifice to their gods Sun sets the slaves all die The hearts of humans left to dry Burnt offerings to the sky Temples built for priests with high Me...

Unwanted from his first breath. A mother's blessing born, A father's burden worn. The bright shine of the sunrise Along the tile floor to the open door. With blood on the sheets she lay on the mattress. Staring aimlessly. Numb, dark and decayed On the...

Can you hear those birds sing? Means we're closer to shore Means we're closer to home Further from love and war Further from what made sense What we were born to do What kept the blood in our veins Keep my veins thin with booze Kept my hand on my gun And my...

Closing early morning just before sunrise A night spent with the guilt Until morning light We share a cigarette, burning the shame Our lungs heavy in bliss Our arms are sore from the weight I may be a sinner, forsaken and damned The selfish and pride f...

You need to get out of this house. I’ll walk you down to town. We’ll go act our age, kick rocks, waste summer days. Penny candy at the general store, I’d buy us a pop if I had more. Keep walking inland all day, spitting and cursing each others name. “Ain’...

Unwanted, but breathing In the next room, sleeping My mother, she’s crying And my father’s been drinking In our run-down apartment Where the roof is still leaking He’s cursing and cussing It’s just the whiskey talking And I’ve got lots of memories lik...

That soap box song Stuck in his head. Burdens lie in graves past by. He carries his weight. That anthem for the disenchanted Rings loud in waves of grain. Heavy hearted hymns Heard in slums fade out on those country roads. Hope burning in his lungs. Days pass,...

After she was in the ground, he didn’t know what to do. He still towed those lines at work, he still took care of his mother, but nothing was the same. He had lost everything. So he did what they always used to, go sit at their booth at the Copper...

Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners Now and at the hour of our death Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners Now and at the hour of our death Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners Now and at the hour of our death Forgive me, my f...

"There's no place for me." A man of nowhere, a man of black heart from the dead end streets. "Regret runs through me. I am no one, I am nothing, I am a man of defeat. What's left for me?" Thought of those open roads, his mother praying all alone, that vagra...

I've got this hope in my chest I'll see one more sunrise I've got my brother's good luck Around my neck every night I've gotthis song in my head It's got me thinking of him My hear is heavy with guilt It's got my blood running thin We hold fast, dead set Hol...

Bury him in the cold wet ground. Familiar faces would have made him proud. The military and the working man, the history of the life he lived. “Can you feel that soil covering your coffin?” So what are you going to do? Be the hero that your father was, be...

It still looks the same here after all these years. The junkies and the steamboat men, The sun never set on them here. He walks to his rundown home, Hell-bent to find his mother, But all that fear comes back When he is greeted by his brother. "It's not the sam...

I can't remember (Remember) Each time it slipped right through my fingers The eyes and faces of my brothers (My brothers) They never made it back home to their mothers And all I remember (Remember) Of 1943 December Sullivan and I behind the line, we gat...
